Many of us in the women's motorcycling community have been raising funds for breast cancer research through the Pony Express Tour, as well as other initiatives of the Women's Motorcyclist Foundation. Those funds have always gone to Komen. I'm the artist that made the multi-part commemorative medallion that was an integral part of the fundraising tour every year. I'm planning to agitate for the WMF to find a better recipient for our future largesse.

Your response is what i am hoping to see on a wide scale. SGK has defined themselves as anti-choice, and the faux apology does not change that. As long as they keep their anti-choice VP and board members, they will continue to be an anti-choice organization.

I agree. There are other breast cancer organizations to support, which I will do. Mainly, any donations I can give in terms of cash will be directly to Planned Parenthood. No way will I ever walk for Lomen again, either.

This also isn't an isolated incident of how the right-wingers have, are and will continue to errode women's healthcare on every level. There has been even a stronger, more far-reaching assault since the 2010 mid-term elections. Sadly, it took this to wake most people up to what is going on in a larger and nation wide way. But women are losing healthcare options everyday in this country. Waking up has to happen and lead to action.
